Just going by what my friend said, he did mention they can be up around that, but still its one time fee and he says it has everything, another option for the OP.
We sorta cut the cord at my house, we had time warner/spectrum and when we had just internet they charged up the ass (were paying around 75/month just for internet, my wife called them when we moved and we got the same internet and they gave us a box that was supposed to be just local channels and it is 55/month and wont go up. Instead of using the box they gave we just plugged the cable right into the TV and got all the basic cable channels (60+) with some HD and we have that for every TV we hook right up to a cable.
